“700。”

Liu Mang's Facebook posted a picture.

Didn't write anything else, just a picture.

But anyone who follows the NBA knows what that means.

No one was surprised to see Liu Mang so direct, this is Liu Mang, what he wants will be said directly, and then he will do it.

The Spurs arrived in Atlanta on the morning of their game against the Hawks, and the league will never be that friendly to the Spurs, at least until the Spurs gain popularity.

The Spurs were beaten 85-77 by the Bulls last night, and today they have to play back-to-back games with the Hawks.

Overall, the Hawks and Spurs are in a similar situation right now, both in a state of physical limitations.

If the Lakers and Celtics both like to come openly, rob openly, and offend other teams openly, they will eventually get no team willing to trade with them in the future, and Popovich likes to play yin.

Popovich did not respond positively to the fact that Liu Mang was going to score 700 points, and he also forbade the players on the team to express their opinions on the matter in interviews, as if they did not know about it.

But when it came time to play in the evening, Liu Mang felt the malice from the Spurs.

Artest single defense, Parker, Ginobili to help defend Liu Mang in the middle distance, Duncan squatted on the inside line to guard Liu Mang to attack the basket, Liu Mang had no ball in his hand, Artest and Liu Mang fought hand-to-hand, Liu Mang ran the position, and the other outside lines came to block Liu Mang's position, Liu Mang went to the inside line, and he stuck tightly in the middle distance.

When Liu Mang has the ball in his hand, there are at least two people in front of him, unlimited bags!

The Spurs are not a team that has much desire for a regular season record, anyway, they can't go below 50 wins, they can't get the first place in the West, they can't get the full home court advantage in the Western Conference playoffs, their goal is to have a first-round home court advantage, and they don't care about losing a disgusting opponent.

Liu Mang fought hard, and he shot 19 times, facing the Spurs to pour the defensive center of gravity on him crazily, although Liu Mang got 14 free throws, 11 of 14 free throws, but only 6 of 19 shots, including 4 of 12 three-pointers, and got 27 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.

Liu Mang was surrounded when he entered the inside line, and although he got a lot of free throws, his own hand was made to explode, and the shooting rate will exceed 30%.

The key to branding Gui's victory lies in the other two eagles, Maddie scored 31 points on 11-of-23 shooting, Jason Terry scored 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting, Kwame Brown and Marion combined to grab 29 rebounds, Maddy and Jason Terry scored a lot of points when Liu Mang was playing iron, taking advantage of Liu Mang's attraction to the defense, grabbing the offensive rebound and passing out, there was a second chance to attack.

The Spurs' defense against Liu Mang did make it difficult for Liu Mang to make more shots, if you count the 7 offensive opportunities used up by 14 free throws, Liu Mang played 36 minutes, and actually shot 26 times, which is not less, but compared with the past dozen games, Liu Mang's effective shots in this game are very much less.

But the Spurs' defense made their rebounding and defense against other outside shots except for Liu Mang very poor, and the Hawks took 95 shots, much higher than their average of 83 shots per game this season.

The Hawks easily defeated the Spurs 108-91.

……

Only 27 points!

This was too unexpected for Liu Mang.

Originally, Liu Mang thought that this game with the Spurs was the easiest game for him to score high points, and he felt that the Spurs would definitely do their best to win them, after all, the Spurs must be aiming to win the championship.

But I didn't expect the Spurs to stop him from scoring high points regardless of whether he won or lost!

Liu Mang was substituted in the second minute of the fourth quarter because the Hawks already had a 25-point lead, which was 91-66 at the time, and when he was substituted, he saw Duncan's sinister smile at him.

From Duncan's warm and innocent smile, Liu Mang felt the "dignity of the background emperor", as the background emperor, of course, he didn't want to be the background the most, and no one wanted to be the background all the time.

Duncan was the most active one to help defend Liu Mang, and Liu Mang got 6 free throws on Duncan alone.

The good news was that the game was won, and the Eagles snapped a four-game winning streak and briefly started the winning streak.

But all of a sudden, the task became very difficult!

With three games left, there are still 127 points left, which means that there are three games left to average 42.4 points per game to get 700 points!

After Duncan caused a big problem for Liu Mang to hit 700 points in a single month, he took his teammates back to San Antonio in a chic manner, and played a wave of five consecutive away games, and the Spurs were also tired and panicked.

The most painful thing for the Spurs is that they either play four games in 5 days, 5 games in 8 days, and they are consecutive away games or consecutive home games, or they have a long break, and now the 31-16 Spurs only have two games left this month, 30 and 31 back-to-back, but the next three days they have three days off......

Popovich would rather not have that long rest days and would rather spread out the schedule a little bit, they have too many three or four days off and 17 back-to-back games throughout the season.

Liu Mang's side was overshadowed by Popovich, and he could only admit it, and the day after playing the Spurs, he immediately flew to the cold north with the team, and tomorrow is the 27th, and will challenge the Raptors with the Toronto youth trio as the core led by Darko Milicic, the king of the north.

……

"Alas......"

Kwame Brown let out a plaintive sigh, he missed O'Neill so much!

When O'Neal was in the East, Lakers fans would vote for Kwame Brown and didn't want O'Neal to be an All-Star starter.

But O'Neal is gone, and Kwame Brown has become the target of public criticism, and non-Hawks fans never vote for Kwame Brown, but instead choose to vote for Kwame Brown's opponent.

Competing with Kwame Brown for the Eastern Conference All-Star starting center position is Dwight Howard, whose popularity has soared since O'Neal left the East this year.

Howard's laughing personality, coupled with the league's support, allowed him to win the 2007 Las Vegas All-Star starting center position with 1.51 million votes, beating Kwame Brown with 1.39 million votes.

Kwame Brown's back-to-back All-Star starting center years are broken.

"It's okay, Kwame, you're going to make the All-Star bench." Marion reassured.

"Hopefully, but Sean is here, and I don't have that good chance of being on the All-Star bench." Kwame-Brown has some grumbling.

"Then let's go in together!" Marion has a good mentality and a lot of confidence.

looks like that, he doesn't have a twisted personality like an alien, and Marion's mentality is very strong.

Liu Mang saw that someone went to comfort Kwame Brown, so he didn't say anything, he was depressed, he only scored 27 points yesterday, it was too miserable, and he would play the Raptors tomorrow...... He had a very ominous premonition!

Fortunately, there was a little consolation today, and the All-Star starting lineup was announced today.

Liu Mang's 2.96 million votes, relying on the latest wave of crazy performances, successfully overtook Kevin Garnett with 2.57 million votes and won the All-Star vote king.

Maddy won the other All-Star starting guard position in the East with 2.21 million votes.

Garnett received the second-highest number of votes for this All-Star and was selected as the starting forward of the Eastern All-Star, and James won the position of another Eastern All-Star starting forward with 2.18 million votes.

In the west, Yao Ming won the Western All-Star voting king with 2.51 million votes, and occupied the Western All-Star starting center position for five consecutive years.

In terms of Western Conference forwards, Duncan continues to be selected as an All-Star starter with 2.06 million votes, a position he has held since his rookie season.

Gasol was selected as an All-Star for the second time in his career and became an All-Star starter for the first time, beating Carmelo Anthony with 1.41 million votes to win the All-Star starting forward position.

In terms of guards, Kobe and Iverson were selected as All-Star starters together, with Bryant receiving 2.33 million votes and Iverson 2.19 million votes.

Looking at Kobe Bryant and Duncan, the two "nail households" who have occupied the two All-Star starters in the West since 1998, Liu Mang really wants to hack them and has been occupying the position.

After Liu Mang was yin by Duncan yesterday, he had a sense of annoyance and anger.

The most surprising thing for Liu Mang was that the third largest Eastern defender was Rondo!

Rondo got 690,000 votes, more than Kidd's 650,000 votes, Wade's 490,000 votes and Terry's 410,000 votes!

Carter's side is really cold, and it is cold with Kidd, and the conflict between the two continues to escalate, which has a great impact on their popularity.

The Maimang combination was selected as an All-Star starter again, which was a small comfort for Liu Mang, and he needed to score more points in the next three games.

Toronto, a very cold place, is still good to nest in a hotel in winter, and the schedule has been tight recently, and the rest of the Eagles have no idea of going to the snowdrift.

All nest in the hotel rest.

Liu Mang didn't watch the video or anything, rest is very important, the rest of the Eagles are physically tired, Maddie, Jason Terry, Kwame Brown and others are in the middle of the season, the fatigue of playing so many games in the past few years has accumulated, and it broke out at this stage, the first and second grade players played an important role for the first time after Prince and Korver left, adult basketball and college basketball are not on the same level, Liu Mang is psychological fatigue, read books, relieve relief.

……

The announcement of the All-Star starters is a very important event in the NBA and has become a hot topic among fans.

Kwame Brown and Howard, Milicic, and Chandler have their own opinions on who is more worthy of the All-Star starting center position, and relatively speaking, many fans voted for Howard, but there are more disparaging arguments for Howard.

Chose Howard and attacked Howard...... The fans are always so peeing.

On the evening of the 26th, when the media and fans were discussing the topic of who deserves and who is not worthy of this All-Star starter, a little-known reporter, Wojina Wowski from Google Sports, broke a fierce news!

"Grant Hill and the Magic are negotiating a buyout"

Later, it was revealed that "the Magic team opens up the communication rights of other teams with Grant Hill".

The news came very suddenly, although Grant Hill is old, I don't know how many injuries he has experienced since the new century, new fans don't think he is very good, and he feels that his contract delays the Magic team, which has always been excellent in the draft, but in the 90s, Grant Hill was extremely famous, and Jordan, who won 72 wins and was the only 70+ wins in history at the time, couldn't steal Grant Hill's All-Star vote.

Old fans still like Grant Hill very much, it's 2007, Grant Hill's All-Star votes are still ranked fourth among Eastern forwards, higher than Rahim, O'Neal Jr., Bosh and others, which is enough to prove Grant Hill's popularity.

Some fans like to watch it, and some media dig deeper, and then a large number of major media revelations came.

Overall, Grant Hill has played okay this season, averaging 11 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists per game, and his attendance is also good, and the Magic have played 48 games and made 39 appearances, which is his highest attendance rate since the new century.

But 16.9 million is the tenth salary in the league...... Grant Hill's stats are so unworthy.

Coupled with Raheem, the fifth-highest salary star in the league who received 19.1 million US dollars on the terms specified by the veteran, the Magic team only has the sixth record in the East, with a salary of 81.3 million.

So although the loss of Grant Hill will damage their strength, if the agreement is bought out, they will not have to pay Grant Hill's remaining three months of salary, and they will not only be able to pay a large amount less salary, but also be exempted from the same amount of luxury tax!

As for the transaction...... Grant Hill has been reimbursed for the season since the first year of signing a seven-year salary cap with the Magic in 2000, and then the annual season reimbursement, and it can be traded early, and the Magic team doesn't want an injury number that is reimbursed every year to occupy the salary space, but there is no team to ask for it, and the draft picks can't be sent.

The Magic team could only survive, and finally survived until the last year, and the luxury tax was paid for several years.

According to media calculations, if Grant Hill is cut before the All-Star weekend and the Magic make some smaller trades before the trade deadline, it is very likely that the salary will be lowered below the luxury tax threshold for the first time in five years, so Grant Hill's request for a buyout is very attractive to the Magic.

And the Magic team also has the Turkish forward Sido Turkoglou, who showed excellent passing ability in the Kings that year, and the Magic team at the end of the bench with Trevor Ariza, who signed for two years and 6.6 million, the depth of the Magic team is enough, but their head coach can't use it, Grant Hill is there, with a salary of more than 16 million, and he can sell tickets, Grant Hill finally has two years of health, without Grant Hill, his boss can strangle him.

After Liu Mang talked to Xiao Lori on the phone in the afternoon, he turned off his mobile phone, didn't turn on the computer, and was reading a book about how a junior high school boy became a bad guy, diverting his nervous thoughts recently, and in the evening, the door was knocked.

"Who!" Liu Mang angrily went to open the door and found that it was Stockton.

Liu Mang adjusted his breathing and asked, "What's wrong, John?" ”
